Introduction: 14 Homemade Natural Cleaners

I love making my own household products, particularly cleaners. They are so easy to make, all natural and smell great! Most importantly, they don't contain toxic chemicals! These natural disinfectants use herbs, essential oils, vinegar and other basic items you likely have in your home already. These recipes make 16 ounces of cleaner that you can store in a spray bottle. I really like the glass spray bottle. It is always best to shake before each use to make sure all the ingredients are mixed well for proper cleaning.

1. Basic Countertop Cleaner: Combine 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide and 1/2 cup vinegar. Top it off with distilled water.

5. Herb-Infused Spray: Put organic herbs such as rosemary, mint, sage, etc. in a mason jar filled half way. Top it off with apple cider vinegar. Let it infuse for approximately 6 weeks. Swirl weekly. Strain the herbs then add the liquid into spray bottle. Top it off with distilled water.

11. Citrus Vinegar Cleaner: Fill a mason jar with fresh citrus peels then add vinegar. Let it infuse for about a month, swirling at least once a week. Strain the peels then add liquid to spray bottle. Top it off with distilled water.
